WOOF! MEOW! Today is Columbus Day which pawsomely means that many of our friends who work for the federal government and a few other offices in the areas including banks and post offices have a day off!
The holiday commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492. The day has been celebrated since the 18th century in a number of cities and states. Some locations throughout the country celebrate Italian-American heritage with parades, street fairs featuring colorful costumes, music, and Italian food.
WOOF! Some places throughout the country use today to honor indigenous peoples with activities including pow-wows, traditional dance events, and educational events about Native American culture.
WOOF! MEOW! However you celebrate the day, make it a great day by remembering the contributions of many people of different races from various countries throughout the world who have made America great!
